Tuesday, March 19, 2019

March 20th is the Vernal Equinox,
which marks the 43rd anniversary of the founding of the Fellowship of Isis. It
is also the day of the Full Moon, which on the west coast of the United States
takes place at 6:43 PM. So today we honor the Moon Goddess with this oracle of
the Goddess Ngame from Olivia Robertson:

Priestess: (Invocation) I invoke your
inspiration, O Ngame, Triple Moon Goddess of Whom None in the Universe is
greater. Caught in the dull web of our daily lives we look to Thee for the
promise that lies concealed beneath Thy mysterious veils of magic.

Oracle: You cannot see your own
body save for the tip of your nose and the front of your body down to your
toes! You need to gaze into still water or a looking-glass in order to see
yourself: and even then the image is reversed. All you have learnt from science
is but a limited area of knowledge deduced from insufficient information,
garnered through extended five senses and logical inference. You can, however,
only understand the hidden spheres of the occult if you learn the language of
symbols. Each symbol embodies a reality on another plane. The moon which I hold
in my dark hands is the mirror both of the polarized rays of the sun, and of
your own earth, when its shadow blackens the moon. So those who fear the
eclipsed Full Moon reject their own shadow! The moon symbolizes duality, a
duality that is even manifested by the Solar Deities, Who yet cast a shadow
upon the lower earth plane. The God when reversed is a devil. Yet the moon in
triple form shows forth that harmony which resolves duality.

The aetheric
matrix of your earth appears to you as a dream reflection of physical life, to
vanish at day-break. But in fact it is the causal essence of the physical
plane. You can only alter physical matter through making changes in its
aetheric counterpart. A table cannot be moved an inch without psychic volition.
To do this knowingly is the art of magic. Spiritual transformation, rather than
mere aetheric manipulation, is also the gift of the moon. As it is impossible
for you to see your own face save in a mirror, so in order to know and
transform your soul, you need to gaze into the aetheric lunar mirror. What you
see therein may delight or terrify you! The ugly may see an angel: the handsome
a monster. Union is achieved when the persona and soul are one: so the spirit
is in harmony with itself. For what seems alien, even macabre, is your hidden
self which, if banished, creates a vacuum in your soul. So deprived, you became
psychically maimed.

During the past
two thousand years, mankind has attempted to vault over the psychic spheres of
the moon, and achieve the higher planes without it. Femininity, magic, the
occult, were all despised, feared and exorcised in temples and churches;
convents and colleges; in monasteries and laboratories. But now the time has
come when mankind the student grows to adulthood. Each of you must face the
reverse image instead of attacking it, labelling it heretic, devil, black
witch, lunatic, hallucination! For the Three lunar spheres, psychic, spiritual
and cosmic are an essential curve in the evolutionary spiral. In the Piscean
age it was necessary for devotees to struggle with their own souls to achieve
one-pointed purity. But in this coming Aeon of the Winged Ones the shadow image
must be absorbed. So may the Greater Self include both higher and lower selves.
Duality is resolved not through conquest but through harmony.

Every planet
has its reverse twin and I preside over them all. And I also rule over the
mightier duality of the shining stars burning in black space. Darkness and
light are united in My cosmic embrace. I hold them in My arms as I do each one
of you.

March 18- Celebrate the Birth of the FOI on March
21: “Earth Magic of Transformation” in Urania. Rite by Attunement for All FOI
Members are free to join in by around the world on March 21st, Spring Equinox,
which is the actual FOI Birthday/Date of the Founding - either as full
ceremonial, or reading it, and visualising it.

There
doesn't have to be a specific time as that is difficult to coordinate
internationally, without it being inconvenient for some. All the rites
can be done solo, by reading aloud, perhaps with a candle, and
or incense, or more elaborate if you choose! Relax beforehand, and
anoint your brow with water before you start. Make sure you won't be
interrupted by phones or people. Cats and dogs usually like to join in!
